1 way / person

Chennai → Bengaluru

train · 5h

Cheapest listed route is Chennai → Bengaluru by train. Return for two works out to about ₹1,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹8,169 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Bengaluru's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
